Merging the trailer naming topic and the metric topic (it is a Canadian-made trailer, after all), how about "Kilo'scape"? Or would that be a thousand trailers lined up nose-to-end instead of the thousandth one?

I think a "Kilo'scape" (which I think should be Kiloscape or maybe Kilo-scape) would be a thousand times the size of a base Escape - ten times wider, ten times longer, and ten times taller. Imagine the kilotug!

Hi: All... It shouldn't matter how many trailers Escape has built. As long as the one they build for you... is the best they can do!!! Congrats to ETI on your 1000th unit. Alf

Right on Alf. As far as I'm concerned ours is the first!

It was really interesting to see them all lined up in various stages of construction and with addresses for all over North America. Reace said the line moves forward every 8.5 hours. The paperwork is taped to the side of the trailer with any special instructions. With only a thousand spread out and most of them in the Northwest, if I spotted one here in the Midwest, I would feel like I won the lottery. But by this time next year there will be three that I know of in the KC metro area. Loren

Are we talking about the map? It shows only three non-metric countries: U.S.A., Liberia, and Burma - as shown in text labels (no label for Alaska). All bits of the US are coloured to match - I suppose Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands are all pink if you can make them out in the map's resolution; they're not separate countries either.

How did we get from Escape History to metric system use? Don't answer that...

Boy, you guys south of the 49th sure do love to complicate measurements, eh?

I am fairly well versed in both imperial, and metric, and would just love to go all metric, but alas, with our economy so tied to the much larger US market, we must give in to using both.

I am still miffed that the US has not adopted the metric system, even after my 5th grade teacher, Miss Kessler, promised me that it would be happening very soon. That was in 1960.

I am a cyclist, so I changed all my bicycle computers to show speed and distance in kilometers rather than miles. I am much faster now -- I average "25" instead of "15". and I go much farther now too. When I rode across the country, my blog reported all my distances in kilometers, which drove dear wife crazy until she finally figured them out.
